Conclusions From Last Dolphins Game

[quote name='Chi_Town_Raven' post='117318' date='Jan 3 2009, 07:53 PM']Sorry, but I just have to point this out to you. You are emphasizing the wrong words. Like right here:


You wrote it like this


The RAVENS may stop one of them regularly, but not both...

It should be written like this:

The Ravens may stop ONE of them regularly, but not BOTH...


Whats going to happen is this:

The Raven will stop one of them all the time, and shut out the other most of the time except maybe one 3-yard run

What also will happen is this:


Ravens go fishing in Miami, and catch a real flub called Ferguson.


[b]Sorry, but I hate it when smart alecs try to be smart @$$es[/b]


BUT U FAIL[/quote]

Dude... Why the hate? I am just voicing my opinion... If you disagree, do it with class and not with stupid remarks like this...

I am only here to talk about the game and get feedback from another point of view... RELAX!

[quote name='ravenwildman' post='117304' date='Jan 3 2009, 07:39 PM']I believe the bottom line is:

The Ravens can effectively shut down the Dolphin offense both on the ground and in the air, where as they can not stop ours effectively enough to win.

I expect the play-off fever to pump them up for a while, but like Dallas the presure will be too much by [b]the 4th quarter.[/b]Add to this our defense's ability to score on turn-overs, well you get the idea.[/quote]

Actually , this is where we have been winning the games... Seems that no one has been able to take away the 12 -15 play drive, consuming 7 - 8 minutes of clock time, from the DOLPHINS of late...

Hope your defense is still fresh by then!

Dream on

[quote name='Moderator 3' post='116862' date='Jan 2 2009, 09:05 PM']To fans of opposing teams: while we enjoy having visitors, we did not leave the door open hoping to have people drop by intent on changing our way of thinking or posting rude comments about our team. We are quite happy being Ravens fans. Please don't make the mistake of thinking this is a friendly environment. We bleed purple so be advised that it

[Chi_Town_Raven]

He prolly still thinks it's last year, when we actually did lose to them. My god that was embarrassing. And I was in a bar loaded with people just laughing. Disgraceful.

I've really had it with him. This is the first time that I have ever asked a Mod to block a poster. I'm tired of him and his inciting posts. I thought the Steelers fans were bad. This guy takes the cake![/quote]

Please don't judge an entire fan base on 1 or 2 fans that come here and try to start trouble... Most of us are not like that... I actually am a member of THEPHINS.COM. We have some of the best fans in the world on this site! You should stop by and visit us. You won't find stupidity or lack of respect for individuals, OR TEAMS for that matter, on that site!

Stop by and see us and debate the game with us!

So, according to your moderator, you can be as mean spirited in support of your team as you want to be. However, when fans of opposing teams get fired up and fire back the same smack, you want them blocked or banned. How immature are you? GO STEELERS!

This message board is a no-smack zone; it's entirely possible to debate opposing viewpoints without personal attacks.

With that said, since this is an NFL team's message board, the moderation done here is no different than that of other NFL teams' official message boards. There are different standards, so therefore, as a visitor, you must adjust accordingly. But act cordial and respectful, and there are no problems, as the fans of other teams who regularly frequent these parts can attest to.

Keep in mind that Ravens fans have been silenced and banned here as well, so there is no discrimination when it comes to who gets the hammer dropped.

In reference to Moderator 3's post, she basically is stating that fans of opposing teams who come here strictly to incite in an argumentative manner, will most likely face discipline over a Ravens fan that was provoked, in a situation where both parties are at fault. Again, no different than other NFL teams' official message boards.

Franchise you should be a lawyer instead of a writer

Just like you would not go to someone's house and insult their family, you should not go to another teams forums and break the rules and insult the posters, it just common courtesy.

FYI Pass defense comparison:

Ravens #2

Miami #25

Not really much of a comparison.

edit: also my sig contains the results of Miami rushing the first time.

[quote name='FINintheMOON' post='117274' date='Jan 3 2009, 07:13 PM']Very interesting thread... I have spent the time to read it all only to find that there were many mis-conceptions in the posts within this thread... These mis-conceptions are found on both sides of the argument... I JUST couldn't stand it any longer!!!

So I registered just to offer my opinion... I know opinions are like... Well we know the ending to that line... However, I would like to offer my own 2 cents if I may...

While the RAVENS have arguably the 2nd best defense in the league, those being in rushing and total yardage, I will offer the idea that neither Ronnie or Ricky have been leaned upon to pound the ball all season. Combined, they have a respectable 1675 rushing yards for the year. While they have both been played on the conservative side, I do expect to see them both get the rock plenty on Sunday. The RAVENS may stop one of them regularly, but not both...

In addition to that running duo, we have a FULLBACK of our own by the name of Polite... While the stats will say he is ranked 30th in the league as a rusher, he has a 3rd down and short yardage, to first and 10, that has been incredable of late! He has converted 11 of 12 in his past attempts... Averaging 4.0 yards on those carries... So we do have a beast in the middle for ya! I believe that the DOLPHINS win the ground battle only because they have the better rested players and this game WILL become a major grind on the ground!

The key to this game is going to be pass defense... The team with the best pass defense will win this game. I believe that the DOLPHINS have the better of the 2 teams. We also have a very savy vet at the position and I believe that your QB will finally get rattled in this game.

I don't see a blow out by either side but I do see us taking a final drive of 12 - 15 plays, and running the clock for 7 - 8 minutes to secure the victory...

Just my thoughts though... [/quote]
Why can't you accept the fact that no team can run on us?
